The Daily Hospitalization numbers have already peaked, both in NYC an nationally.
I've told this story before: we were in NYC for a week right before T-Day. My wife was starting to get a bit sick, but that didn't stop her/us from doing our typical social routine, which is Broadway shows, restaurants, bars, walking, etc. I was ok until we returned to LA - at that point, it was just a bad flu, no biggie, well (enough) in 7-10 days.
Was healthy through mid-Feb, then started developing a daily morning routine of hacking up phlegm. No fever, no aches, no tiredness - still my normal physically active self. But still, a lot of congestion that needed to be cleared each day for around 4 weeks.
Another factor: While I'm retired, my wife still enjoys practicing law, and travels (until recently) quite a bit - like around the country every other week. NYC, Chicago, Miami, Dallas, you name it. Bonus fact - unlike me, she never relapsed - purely asymptomatic.
So, I've got to ask the big question, which is how come she/I don't (presumably) have/had CV, while some shut-in, socially restricted at risk are filling the hospital beds? In other words, how/why did they get CV first before us?
The most logical answer of course is that they didn't; they're no canaries but rather the caboose. I think we did have CV, that we were sick, and that the current run on HCS demands are the lagging edge of the infection wave, not the lead.
